Thanks for that help - It is nice to have pics to refer to. I have seen similar knives to my son's in the Pawn shops so know that they could potentially enter

My problem  is , some need customs clearance and some police clearance. I'm not really sure with some which route I need,

Also I don't know if my son has to import or I should export 

minefield !!

I am hoping to emigrate to Cairns QLD next yr.

My son is a citizen and also lives in Cairns.

He had a decorative knife collection and would like to have it on display in his house in OZ.

I have checked the customs and police sites and am a little confused as to whether he should import or can i export.

Also I am unsure which knives fall under Customs control and which fall under Police control.

I have tried several contact emails from Customs and Police sites and they are just not getting throug.

I would appreciate your assistance in this matter

I know the ruling is that you can only buy land to build a house or buy a house that has not been lived in, but does anyone know if you go on a 600 visa whilst waiting for a 143 visa, is the FIRB likely to authorize a purchase  of an established property.

I am looking at purchasing in Cairns, so don't know if it varies from state to state

thanks 

thanks - I thought that but just needed it confirming 

Can anyone tell me please if you are able to buy an established property on a 600 visa and not be liable for FIRB fees
